Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ WZRELB 3000W 48V 120V Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter - 2 AC Outlets, Car Inverter (RBP-300048) - Enhanced SEO by Mark Hart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of the few with fair output and TRUE sine wave

I had to replace my old inverter after six years of daily use. Now I've been using this WZRELB 800W sine wave inverter every day for 3 weeks and it's working great. It emits true sinusoidal electricity. I did a stress test by plugging in my 500w full size fridge which requires 900w of pulsed power for a few seconds when the compressor first turns on. This inverter didn't even blink and the fridge worked fine for an hour before I stopped the test. This inverter can actually deliver the specified power rating. I've found that many inverters exaggerate their true capabilities by claiming things like "1800W surge and 1200W continuous output power" when in the real world they can only deliver half that power. This is why you see so many bad reviews and returns from frustrated inverter buyers from so many different brands. Yes, the fan makes a bit more noise than some of the others, but it's temperature controlled so it only works in some cases. seconds every few 5 minutes while delivering a continuous 300 watt load to my computer and sound system for 4-6 hours a day. The cooling system works well... the metal casing of the inverter never gets more than a little hot, nothing remotely "hot". to get 120 volts AC at the household power outlet. This is hard work and puts a strain on the electronics. Therefore, always switch on the inverter for 10 or 20 seconds. Let the insides warm up. before connecting a high power device. Regarding the battery cables supplied with the inverter. Yes, they could be thicker - they're clearly marked as "30 amps". But it's the same type of cable that I've seen on most inverters that come with the kit. It appears to be an industry-wide approach. Since most people use 12 volt inverters, they need thicker cables when using devices that draw more than 300-400 watts. Here's why: 12 volt inverters. A volt inverter draws 10 amps of current from the battery for every 100 watts of 120 volt output it produces. So a 400 watt (4 by 10) device will draw 40 amps of current through a 30 amp wire. That would probably be fine if it didn't go on for long... but an 800 watt device would draw 80 amps through a 30 amp wire. Yes. To deal with this current heat, you'll need at least a 4-wire battery cable. Conclusion: I found this WZRELB 800W sine wave inverter does what it says it does, looks good and is solid. How long does it last with daily use? No idea. I'll let you know when I do by updating this review.
